No.No error messages.5 minutes ago i've install 3DFX Voodoo 4 4500 AGP and under windows 98 Drivers succesfuly detected SLI and at that time screen blank for 1 second. All of my Glide games
succesfuly started on a SLI cards.But in Unreal i saw picture like on slow TFT monitors.I think that problem is in R9800PRO.
Please HELP!!! I cant work and play in latest games on my Voodoo 4.Its a cool video card but its too slow for 3DSmax modeling

Ok... I guess that ur problem is that ur V2 are from different vendors... so u need a mismatched driver...

go here:

https://www.3dfxzone.it/dir/news/3dfx/fv2_4.5_b2_mm/

and try this drivers.... they are for Win 9x/Me.... and here:

https://www.3dfxzone.it/dir/news/3dfx/v2_2kxp_mm_beta_0.22/

other ones for Win 2k/XP...

NOTE:This two drivers are BETA RELEASE...

HEY!!! I've turn off my RADEON 9800PRO Secondary in Windows98 and ALL Glide Games work fine.in WindowsXP they work only when i disabling SLI mode.Did someone know what is the Genport I/O error?

?And one more question.How to fix bug with my SLI mismatched Voodoo cards.Its not good that i turn off Radeon 9800Pro -Secondary
sorry for my english.

The mismatched drivers are not gauranteed to work every time, and  Monster3D II is not reference compatible,so don't expect to ever get those cards working together in SLI.  I'd advise you to aquire an identical card to one of your existing ones.  I have a Creative Lab's 3D Blaster II that won't work with reference boards in SLI.  This is commonly the case with Diamond/Orchid/Creative Voodoo2's.

In Windows 98 my Voodoo cards works perfectly!I think this is only drivers problem.Those drivers didn't work at all.
I will wait full version of this drv and then will test it on my system

the "win 98" release of these drivers for windows 98 is almost perfect.. when i'll have a bit of time, i'll try to solve the problem on the windows xp release although i haven't developed them..

Ok.Thanks for your reply.Hmmm.In Windows 98 when Sli is enabled drivers didn't detect 24Mb ram on my Voodoo.But when i install mismatched drivers from RUSSIAN developer it detects 24 Mb perfectly.I know that it's not a trouble but i think you must fix this bug( if you want and have a time:))) Good luck!

Heh! This is ANDREI OSNOVICH.And those drivers (Modified Glide and D3D drivers) was written in 2000
This drivers kit is "Upgrade" to final Voodoo 2 drivers under Windows98 by 3Dfx interactive inc.
So i can say that is very good and stable drivers.Now i use them.But if you will update your product by fixing all those little bugs. Who knows maybe tommorow i'll install your driver kit.I dont know what drivers is faster - it is not a main problem.My opinion is: Drivers for mismatched Sli Voodoo 2 must be stable and compatible with mos games.
